9 08 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December Note 1 Statement of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted by the University of Melbourne in the preparation of the financial report for the year ended 31 December are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financial statements for the University as an individual entity and the consolidated entity, consisting of the University and its subsidiaries. The University and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity. 1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements of the University of Melbourne. They have been prepared on an accrual basis and comply with the Australian Accounting Standards. Additionally the statements have been prepared in accordance with following statutory requirements: Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Financial Statement Guidelines) Financial Management Act 1994 The University of Melbourne is a not-forprofit entity and these statements have been prepared on that basis. Some of the requirements for not-for-profit entities are inconsistent with IFRS requirements. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the University s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are described below: (i) Key estimates impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. The Group s impairment policies are set out in Note 1.10 for financial assets and Note 1.15 for non-financial assets. (ii) Key estimates determination of fair values Financial assets and liabilities The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing market price at balance sheet date. The determination of fair values for financial assets and financial liabilities for which there is no observable market price requires the use of valuation techniques. For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgement depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings are valued by an external valuer on a cyclical basis, or earlier if there is a material movement. Works of art and other collections are valued by management on a cyclical basis based on a combination of internal and external expert advice. (iii) Key estimates useful lives of physical and intangible assets The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. (iv) Key judgements financial asset and liability classification The Group s accounting policies provide scope for assets and liabilities to be designated on inception into different accounting categories in certain circumstances: a) In designating financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, the Group has determined that it has met one of the criteria for this designation set out in Note 1.9 (i). b) The Group classifies financial assets as held-to-maturity where it has determined that it has both the positive intention and ability to hold the assets until their maturity date, as required in Note 1.9 (iii). c) In determining whether income is reciprocal in nature the Group has determined that it has met the criteria set out in Note 1.4 (i). 1.2 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the University as at 31 December, and their results for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the University has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the University controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the University. They are de consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the University. The University s consolidated financial statements show the University (parent entity) financial position and result, which includes the University s general, trust and semi-autonomous activities, as well as the Consolidated financial position and result, which also includes the University s subsidiaries. The activities and entities that make up the University and Consolidated information are detailed below. University (parent entity) The University parent entity includes: General activities including teaching, research and administrative activities. Trust activities which are activities supported by funds derived from endowments and bequests and income earned thereon. A major part of trust monies is received for, and can only be applied to, restricted purposes. Semi-autonomous bodies are the University s semi-independent enterprises which operate on a commercial or quasi commercial basis in support of core University activities. The University has nine semi-autonomous bodies, being: Children s Services Halls of Residence: International House Kendall Hall Medley Hall

10 09 The Ian Potter Museum of Art Melbourne Theatre Company Melbourne University Bookshop # Melbourne University Sport Veterinary Hospital Subsidiaries The subsidiaries of the University are: Australian Music Examinations Board (Vic) Limited ACN Australian National Academy of Music Ltd ACN and its subsidiary: ANAM Foundation Ltd ACN * Melbourne Business School Limited ACN and its subsidiaries: The Melbourne Business School Foundation The Melbourne Business School Foundation Ltd ACN * Mt Eliza Graduate School of Business and Government Limited ACN Melbourne Dental Clinic Ltd ACN ## Melbourne University Publishing Limited ACN MU Student Union Limited ACN Nossal Institute Limited ACN UMELB Pte Ltd ## UOM Commercial Ltd ACN and its subsidiaries: Melbourne Ventures Pty Ltd ACN ** UM Commercialisation Pty Ltd ACN ** Procypra Therapeutics Pty Ltd ACN * Victorian Institute for Chemical Sciences Limited ACN *** * Not operational during the year. ** The operations of Melbourne Ventures Pty Ltd were transferred to UOM Commercial Ltd on 31 December 2010 and the company was liquidated on 17 October. *** Victorian Institute for Chemical Sciences Limited was deregistered on 9 November. # The Melbourne University Bookshop ceased trading on 17 May. ## UMELB Pte Ltd was incorporated in Singapore on 1 June. The Melbourne Dental Clinic Ltd was incorporated on 29 June. The companies listed are all incorporated in the State of Victoria with exception to UMELB Pte Ltd. The University has more than 50% of the voting rights in each of these companies with the exception of Melbourne Business School Limited (45%) and the Victorian Institute for Chemical Sciences Limited (33%). These companies are deemed to be subsidiaries for the purpose of this report. A minority interest is not disclosed for the Melbourne Business School as it is a company Limited by Guarantee. In accordance with AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements the financial statements of each of the above subsidiaries have been consolidated in these financial statements. Summary information for each subsidiary group is provided in Note 37. (ii) Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method, and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group s share of its associates postacquisition profits or losses is recognised in the Income Statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the group s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. 1.3 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION (i) Functional and presentational currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ( the functional currency ). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the University s functional and presentational currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in the Income Statement. Transactions in foreign currencies which are carried out by the library for book purchases are converted to Australian currency at the rate of exchange on the date on which the currency is purchased. The University hedges its foreign currency exposure in respect of major purchases of equipment from overseas countries. At the reporting date there were no such hedges in place (, nil). 1.4 REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows: (i) Government financial assistance Government grants are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group has complied with the attached conditions. Such grants are treated as non-reciprocal transfers in accordance with AASB 1004 Contributions. Government grants which have outstanding performance or return conditions are recognised in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue with reference to the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured by reference to total expenditure incurred to date compared with the funding provided. The University regards the receipt of such revenue as a reciprocal transfer as the University is required to provide the necessary services in return for grant funding. A liability is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of grant revenue which is unearned at the balance date. AASB 118 Revenue requires revenue to be recognised in the reporting periods in which the services are rendered. (ii) Fees and charges Fee-for-service revenue is recognised upon the delivery of the service. Where revenue of a reciprocal nature has been clearly received in respect of programs or services to be delivered in the following year, such amounts are deferred and disclosed as income in advance in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue. (iii) Investment revenue Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the Group s right to receive payment has been established. Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

11 10 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December Note 1 Statement of significant accounting policies (continued) (iv) Other Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue in the form of endowments and bequests is brought to account when received. All revenue is stated net of Goods and Services Tax (GST). 1.5 INCOME TAX The University of Melbourne and its subsidiaries are exempt from income tax pursuant to Part 50.1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act The balance sheet method of taxeffect accounting is adopted. 1.6 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, at-call deposits and bank bills with a maturity of 90 days or less. 1.7 TRADE RECEIVABLES Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impaired receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 90 days overdue) are considered to be indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted as the effect of discounting is immaterial. Movements in the balance of the allowance are recognised in the Income Statement. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Income Statement. When a trade receivable is uncollectible it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the Income Statement. 1.8 INVENTORIES Annual or cyclical stocktakes of inventories are undertaken at all locations. Inventories comprising finished goods, raw materials, work in progress, fodder and hay stocks are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, with adjustments made to take into account obsolescence. The Group s livestock are measured at their fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs in accordance with AASB 141 Agriculture. The fair value of this item is determined based on market prices in the local area. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. 1.9 FINANCIAL ASSETS AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provides four categories of financial instruments: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification of investments depends on the purpose for which they were acquired. The classification of investments is determined by management at initial recognition and is re-evaluated at each reporting date, where applicable. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives are categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when an entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets except for those with maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities where management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the reporting date, the Group did not hold any financial assets in this category (, nil). (iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non current assets unless either management intends to dispose of the investment or the settlement date of the investment is within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in equity in the availablefor-sale financial assets revaluation reserve. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the Income Statement. (v) Other investments Investments in other unlisted entities are carried at fair value. Where a fair value is not readily available, investments are carried at the lower of cost or recoverable amount IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an asset below its cost is considered to indicate impairment. The University has assumed in its impairment assessment that a significant decline in fair value occurs when market value has declined by greater than 20% below historical cost, and a prolonged decline

12 11 occurs when market value remains below historical cost for more than nine months. If any such evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss is removed from equity and recognised in the Income Statement. Impairment losses recognised in the Income Statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the Income Statement FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. Entities shall classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date (Level 1). The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing market price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments (Level 2) are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques that are not based on observable market data (Level 3) such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The level in the fair value hierarchy shall be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. Financial instruments are classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of inputs used in making the measurements, as outlined above in this note PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The University has a policy of capitalising property, plant and equipment costing $10,000 or more. Items under $10,000 are expensed, with exception to Works of Art, Library and Other Collections which are capitalised. Some subsidiaries have lower capitalisation thresholds, however the overall effect of these is considered to be immaterial in accordance with AASB 1031 Materiality. There has been no change to the capitalisation threshold from the prior year. (i) Land and buildings Land and buildings are initially recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at cost, which is considered to equate to fair value. Fair value for the purposes of the Group s buildings is depreciated replacement cost unless specific circumstances dictate otherwise. Subsequent to initial recognition, land and buildings are valued by an external valuer on a cyclical basis unless there is a material movement between valuations. These assets are disclosed as measured at fair value. At the date of revaluation any accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. The net value is then restated to the revalued amount of the asset. An independent valuation of land belonging to the Group was carried out as at 31 December by Cunningham Property Consultants Pty Ltd. As at 31 December, an independent valuation of both Land and Buildings belonging to the Group was carried out by Colliers International Consultancy and Valuation Pty Limited. (ii) Works of Art & Other Collections The University s works of art and other collections, which include the University s rare book collection, archives and the Percy Grainger collection, are measured on a fair value basis and are valued on a cyclical basis unless there is a material movement between valuations. Collections are valued by management relying on both internal and independent valuations. A summary of valuations carried out by year are included below. a) A valuation of works of art and other collections held by the University was carried out as at 31 December 2006 by management, based on both internal and independent expertise. Independent expertise was provided for artwork valuations by Leonard Joel Australia (Valuers), Deutcher-Menzies Pty Ltd, Joshua McClelland and Jan Martin. Other collections were valued by Leonard Joel Australia (Valuers) and Kenneth Hince Old and Fine Books. An independent valuation of works of art held by the Victorian College of the Arts was also carried out as at 31 December 2006 by Leonard Joel Australia (Valuers). Works of art held by the Victorian College of the Arts were transferred to the University on integration as at 1 January 2007 at fair value. b) An independent valuation of two University rare book collections and the library print collection was carried out as at 31 December 2010 by the Australian Valuation Office. c) An independent valuation of the Grainger Museum, Physics Museum, School of Music Collection, Law Library and Special collections (including McLaren, AX, Grimwade, Book Club of California) were carried out at 31 December by Simon Storey Valuers. (iii) Items of cultural significance The University has identified and is in the process of cataloguing items of cultural significance. These items are varied in nature. Apart from other collections and works of art (referred to above) these collections have not been valued however, a plan is in place to have these valued in the coming years. (iv) Library collection The University s general library collection, which excludes the rare book collection and electronic publications, is recorded at cost less any accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, any impairment losses. (v) Plant and equipment The University s plant and equipment, which includes motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and all equipment with exception to leased equipment is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less depreciation and, where applicable, any impairment losses. (vi) Leasehold improvements Leasehold improvements are recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less amortisation and, where applicable, any impairment losses. (vii) Leased plant and equipment Plant and equipment held under a finance lease arrangement is initially recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at the lower of the fair value of the leased plant and equipment and the present value of minimum lease payments, and is depreciated over the shorter of the asset s useful life and the lease term.

13 12 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December Note 1 Statement of significant accounting policies (continued) (viii) Construction in progress Construction in progress is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at cost. Capital expenditure relating to the refurbishment of buildings which adds value rather than maintaining the value of the buildings is included in construction in progress. When construction projects are completed, the balance within construction in progress is transferred to buildings. (ix) Subsequent costs The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Income Statement in the period in which they are incurred. (x) Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis on all tangible fixed assets other than land, construction in progress, works of art and other collections, none of which are depreciated. The University s depreciation rates are: Buildings Structure/shell/building fabric 2.5% Site engineering services and central plant 4% Fit out 8% Trunk reticulated building systems 5% Plant and equipment Motor vehicles 20% Furniture, fixtures and fittings 10% Communications equipment 12.5% General equipment 25% Scientific and computing equipment Large research equipment 20% Other scientific and computing equipment 25% 33.33% Leasehold improvements (amortised over the term of the lease) Library collection: Monographs 5% Periodicals 3.33% Audio-visual materials 20% There were no changes to depreciation rates in. Depreciation rates used by some subsidiaries vary slightly from the rates stated above, however the effect of these differences is considered immaterial. Acquisitions are depreciated from the date of purchase; disposals are depreciated up to the date of sale or when classified as held-for-sale (refer to Note 1.16) INTANGIBLE ASSETS (i) Research Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the Income Statement as an expense when it is incurred. (ii) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. (iii) Software Major computer software is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less amortisation and, where applicable, any impairment losses. With exception to the research phase of development, all allowable costs are capitalised in the year they are incurred. Amortisation is provided on a straight line basis at rates between 14.29% and 33.33% (, between 14.29% and 33.33%). (iv) Electronic Publications Electronic publications are capitalised and amortised on a straight line basis. The amortisation rate for electronic publications was increased from 3.33% to 25% during, refer to Note 1.28 for further details REVALUATION OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment requires reporting entities to measure assets within each class of non-current asset on either the cost basis or on a fair value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-current physical assets, other than plant and equipment, leasehold improvements, the library collection and intangible assets are measured at fair value. In accordance with the not-for-profit requirements of AASB 116, revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, except that, to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of that class of asset previously recognised as an expense in the net result, the increment is recognised as income in the net result. Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as expenses in the net result, except that, to the extent that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation reserve in respect of the same class of assets, they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve. Revaluation increments and decrements relating to individual assets within a class of property, plant and equipment are offset against one another within that class but are not offset in respect of assets in different classes. Revaluation reserves are not transferred to retained earnings on derecognition of the relevant asset IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS At each reporting date, all assets except for those held at fair value including inventories, assets arising from employee benefits and financial instrument assets are assessed to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there is an indication of impairment, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, and the difference is written-off by a charge to the Income Statement except to the extent that the writedown can be debited to an asset revaluation reserve applicable to that class of asset. At each reporting date, assets previously determined to be impaired are assessed for circumstances indicating that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods no longer exists or may have decreased. If there is an indication that the impairment loss has been reversed, the assets concerned are tested as to whether the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The difference not exceeding the original impairment is credited to the Income Statement, except for revalued assets, which are credited to an asset revaluation reserve. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the University estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs NON-CURRENT ASSETS (OR DISPOSAL GROUPS) HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In the event that the Group identified a non-current asset (or disposal group) to be classified as held for sale, the asset (or disposal group) would be stated at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, if the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

14 13 Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days commencing from the month following recognition BORROWINGS Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are removed from the Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs including those incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are expensed during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Provision is made for the liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees at the reporting date. Employee benefits which are short term in nature and are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year and which are longterm in nature have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. (i) Annual leave Liabilities for annual leave have been determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. The liability is broken down into the amount expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date and that which is expected to be settled after twelve months of the reporting date. (ii) Long service leave Liabilities for long service leave are measured using the projected unit credit method which measures the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The current portion of the liability is the amount over which the University does not have a right of deferral. (iii) Superannuation Employee contributory superannuation funds managed outside of the University exist to provide benefits for the Group s employees and their dependents on retirement, disability or death of the employee. The contributions made to these funds are recorded in the Income Statement. Further details are provided in Note 41. (iv) Unfunded superannuation liabilities The unfunded liabilities recorded in the Statement of Financial Position under provisions have been determined by the actuary of the Victorian Government Superannuation Office and relate to employees who are members of the State Superannuation Scheme. An arrangement exists between the Australian Government and the State Government to meet the unfunded liability for the University s beneficiaries of the State Superannuation Schemes on an emerging cost basis. This arrangement is evidenced by the State Grants (General Revenue) Amendment Act 1987, Higher Education Funding Act 1988 and subsequent amending legislation. Accordingly, the unfunded liabilities have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position under Provisions (Note 27) with a corresponding asset recognised under Receivables (Note 18). The recognition of both the asset and the liability consequently does not affect the year-end net asset position of the University and its subsidiaries. Refer to Note 41.3 for further details PROVISIONS (i) WorkCover Provision The University is a Self Insurer for Workers Compensation and WorkCover. A provision is recognised representing an estimate of the total outstanding liability for workers compensation claims. The value of the provision is based on an actuarial assessment carried out at balance date. (ii) Other Provisions Other provisions are measured at the present value of management s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group held one derivative during the reporting period, being an interest rate swap which has been designated as a cash flow hedge to remove the Group s exposure to interest rate risk on its borrowings. On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of percent. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss as part of other expenses or other income. Amounts deferred in equity are recycled in profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss in the same line of the income statement as the recognised hedged item. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Further details about the Group s interest rate swap are disclosed in Note 29 and valuation movements through the Hedging Reserve are disclosed in Note 30.

15 14 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December Note CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO BUILDINGS (i) Contributions received Contributions from third parties towards the construction of buildings in exchange for the right to occupy space are netted against expenditure in construction in progress until completion. Upon completion, the market value of the Group s obligation to provide rent relief is determined and accounted for as rental in advance, appropriately classified as a current and non-current liability. This rental in advance balance is then amortised over the period of the lease. (ii) Contributions made Contributions made by the Group to third parties towards the construction of buildings in exchange for the right to occupy space are included in prepayments until completion. Upon completion, the market value of the Group s right to occupy is determined and accounted for as a rental prepayment, appropriately classified as current and non-current. This rental prepayment is then amortised over the period of the lease GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a net basis in the Statement of Cash Flows with the net cash inflow/(outflow) to/from the ATO being recorded separately. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows LEASES Statement of significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Operating leases as lessee The Group leases certain land and buildings. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. (ii) Operating leases as lessor Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (iii) Finance leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in Current and Non-Current Borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Income Statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset s useful life and the lease term ROUNDING All amounts shown in the financial statements are expressed by reference to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specified CHANGES IN COMPARATIVES Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to enhance comparability in respect of changes in presentation adopted in the current year CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES The following changes were made to the University s accounting policy and / or estimates during the year ended 31 December : As outlined in Note 1.13 (iv), the University s amortisation rate for electronic publications was revised effective 1 January. This resulted in a $6.475 million increase in amortisation expense for the Group in. Other than the above, there were no changes to the Group s accounting policy or estimates during the year ended 31 December NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to the operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised standards and Interpretations have not resulted in any significant changes to the Group s accounting policies for the current and prior years. At the date of this report certain new Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ending 31 December. They are available for early adoption, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report. The Group s assessment of the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations relevant to the Group is set out below: AASB 9 Financial Instruments was published in September and becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January This standard prescribes classification and measurement requirements for financial assets and includes some significant changes from the current accounting requirements contained in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Upon first-time application of this new standard, the Group will be required to elect whether to recognise fair value changes in other comprehensive income or through profit or loss. Application of AASB 9 is expected to result in material changes to the Group s future financial reports however the quantitative effect of the Group adopting this standard has not yet been determined. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement was published in September and becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January This standard replaces the guidance on fair value measurement in existing AASB accounting literature with a single standard. The standard defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. AASB 13 applies when another AASB requires fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements. Application of AASB 13 is not expected to result in any material changes to the Group s future financial reports. AASB 119 Employee Benefits was published in September and becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January This amended version includes some revised requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits, termination benefits and other changes. The key amendments include requiring the recognition of changes in the net defined benefit liability/asset, introducing enhanced disclosures about defined benefit plans and modifying accounting for termination benefits. Application of AASB 119 is not expected to result in any material changes to the Group s future financial reports.

16 15 AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements () was published in August and becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January This standard prescribes requirements for separate financial statements while requirements for consolidated financial statements are now contained in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. This standard requires that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments. Application of AASB 127 is not expected to result in any material changes to the Group s future financial reports. AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures () was published in July and becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January This standard supersedes AASB 128 Investments in Associates and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. Application of AASB 128 is not expected to result in any material changes to the Group s future financial reports. AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards was published in June 2010 and applies to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July This standard allows some entities to apply reduced disclosure requirements in their annual financial statements. Application of AASB 1053 is not expected to result in any material changes to the Group s future financial reports.
